ADSIC, TRA sign data exchange deal

ABU DHABI / WAM

The Abu Dhabi Systems and Information Center (ADSIC) and the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) signed a Government Data Exchange MoU, with the aim of benefiting from government services in Abu Dhabi through the Abu Dhabi Enterprise Service Bus platform.
The agreement was signed
by Rashid Lahij Al Mansouri, Director General of ADSIC and Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director General of TRA, at the center’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
The MoU comes in light of the UAE smart government initiative and the launch of the government services bus platform by TRA, which was showcased to local and federal government entities, in addition to entities involved in smart government. The initiative provides a secure connectivity platform that simplifies procedures and improves the quality of services for customers.
Commenting on the agreement, Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director General of TRA said, “The importance of this agreement stems from its key role in strengthening cooperation and coordination between government entities in the field of service integration, in
addition to connecting and exchanging data ahead of a new government phase which is built on quality and user satisfaction. The agreement is also part of our priority to offer faster and more efficient services to customers to boost their happiness, in line with the directives of our wise leadership.” He added, “Through the government services bus project, customers will now be able to obtain any service without the need to visit multiple government entities, as the government continues to work on achieving the concept of integrated government through three major initiatives which are: government service bus, smart pass and the federal network (FedNet).
TRA’s Director General went on to say that the first phase of the project included 13 government entities with 26 connected services, and that Abu Dhabi’s e-government and Smart Dubai are integrated through the government services bus project, giving it a broad national dimension,
beyond the federal level.
